Hey guys, maybe you can help me out with building my computer. It's my first time building one from scratch, and I tried researching to the best of my ability, but honestly, it gets a bit confusing at times, and considering it's a considerable investment, I don't want to pineapple anything up.
I'd use this computer for design software, 3d modeling software, maybe animation in the future, and of course games. I'd like to be able to run games like Skyrim on max settings with a billion stupid mods that give grass realistic texture and make the Dovah's arm hairs move with the wind. I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon, although I might try it way down the road. I'm also looking for a PC that will be able to handle games and software for a while before I have to do another major upgrade.
On my list is also a Seagate 600 240GB SSD, it just wasn't available on PCPP.
Thanks in advance for any help
